This heartfelt story of poor Cora's ordeal is a moving Christmas tale

The People's Friend

I love the setting of this read. 1936 London, doesn't get much better than that! (...) However, it is a heartfelt story which leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy. A good read for Christmas

Reecaspieces

Beautifully written... This is definitely a story that pulls at the heartstrings. The entire time I was routing for Cora and wishing that every bad turn was followed by a good one.

Om bidragsyterne

Sheila Newberry was born in Suffolk and spent a lot of time there both before and during the war. She wrote her first 'book' before she was ten - all sixty pages of it - in purple ink. Her family was certainly her inspiration and she was published for most of her adult life. She spent forty years living in Kent with her husband John on a smallholding. She had nine children, twenty-two grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Sheila retired back to Suffolk where she lived until she passed away in 2020.
